First step to becoming a homeowner

What is a mortgage prequalification?
A mortgage prequalification means you are approved for a specific purchase price and loan amount. We review your application and provide an approval based on your credit worthiness, income, assets, and employment history. This will help determine your approved loan amount. Your prequalification is usually valid for 60 days.
Show sellers you are serious about buying
A preapproval letter shows your creditworthiness to the seller for the purchase amount.
Finalizes your budget
House hunt with confidence, knowing your homebuying budget and your monthly payment.
Speeds up the homebuying process
Once you find your home, you will be able to complete your application quickly.

I had a great experience getting my mortgage through SC Federal. Communication was great, and closing happened quicker than expected. If I ever buy another home, I'll definitely use them again.
